REVIEW: Ghosted! A New Musical, Direction/Lyrics by Makena Margolin and Music by Hayden Kline, EdFringe 2025 ★★★★★

Delightfully spooky, with songs that will be stuck in your head for days.

Ghosted! follows the story of Henry, a young man whose best friend has recently died, contacting a paranormal support group in an attempt to contact the dead and make ammends for the argument they had directly before her death.

The cast of four are exceptionally talented, their rapport is superb, their relationships are incredibly realistic and believable while being playful and fun in a campy rom-com style. The show is silly and funny, and the music is incredibly catchy and well written, this is a soundtrack I need on spotify ASAP.

When I first entered the space, I was concerned that the set of an inflatable sofa had been made as a last minute fringe decision. However, the beautiful cohesion of marketting and onstage design, while still making the set adaptable for the environment is absolutely something designer Alessandro Molina should be praised for.

This show made me laugh until my stomach hurt, and wipe away a tear. An immediate standing ovation from me, this show is not to be missed.

Recommended Drink: Pair this with the Blood of a Virgin.

Performances of Ghosted! A New Musical have now concluded at EdFringe 2025.
